As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
Author Guidelines
TYPES OF MANUSCRIPT Original Articles
Original Articles should report on original clinical studies or research not previously published or being considered for publication elsewhere. The text should not exceed 7000 words, including a list of authors and their affiliations, corresponding author, acknowledgements and figure legends, with an abstract of a maximum of 250 words, a list of a minimum of 15 references primarily from international journals indexed by Google Scholar, Scopus, or Web of Science, and a maximum 10 figures/tables (see below for more details on the layout).
Systematic Reviews
Systematic Reviews are exhaustive, critical assessments of evidence from different data sources in relation to a given subject in the area of health. A systematic search of the relevant data sources should be carried out and the items collected should be carefully evaluated for inclusion based on apriori defined inclusion/exclusion criteria. A description and an analytical graphic representation of the process should be provided. The specific features of the participants' or patients' populations of the studies included in the review should be described as well as the measures of exposure and the outcome with indication towards the corresponding data sources. A structured abstract is required (the same as for short reviews). The text must not exceed 7,000 words including the acknowledgments, with no more than four tables and/or figures and a minimum of 25 references.
Meta-analyses
Meta-analyses should follow the same guidelines for systematic reviews. They are expected to provide exhaustive information and statistical assessment of the pooled estimates of pre-defined outcomes, study heterogeneity and quality, possible publication bias, meta-regression, and subgroup analyses when and where appropriate. Depending on the type of study, the authors are invited to submit PRISMA flow diagrams or MOOSE checklists. Both systematic reviews and metaanalyses will be dealt with as original articles are, as far as the editorial process is concerned.
TITLE AND AUTHORSHIP
The title should be specific, effective, raw, straightforward, and clearly describes the main content of the article and written no more than 14 words in English. The author's name is written by default and complete without a title. The address of the institution is written complete and the appointment of correspondence address is provided by e-mail.
ABSTRACT AND KEYWORDS
Abstracts are written in English which have clear, complete, and complete content describing the essence of the entire article content in a paragraph covering: introduction, aims, methods, results, and conclusion. Keywords as many as 3-5 words that reflect the important concepts contained in the article. The number of words in the abstract does not exceed 250 words.
